Primetime Ratings, Monday, 10/21/13

NBC once again won Monday night in all measures.

'The Voice' fell two tenths to a 4.3, but still easily won 8pm. 'The Blacklist' continued on a steady path, matching last week's 3.0. 'How I Met Your Mother' dipped by a single tenth to a 3.0. As did lead-out '2 Broke Girls,' which posted a 2.5. 'Mom' pulled off a shocker, unexpectedly rising three tenths to a 2.3. 'Hostages' matched last week's 1.2.

'Dancing with the Stars' dropped a single tenth to a 2.0. 'Castle' took a big week-to-week tumble, plunging three tenths to its previous season low. 'Bones' jumped up two tenths to a 2.2. 'Hart of Dixie' and 'Beauty and the Beast' matched last week's 0.4 and 0.3 respectively for the CW. The two shows definitely have a consistent audience, but that audience may not be quite big enough to justify another renewal, even on the fifth place network.
